Exfoliators are excellent alternatives to provide brightness to the skin, and prepare it for good hydration. The meaning of exfoliating is related to the removal of dead cells that avoid the natural glow of the skin and prevent it from breathing.
It is advisable to exfoliate at least once every two weeks, using quality products that are suitable for your skin. In the market there are countless peeling products, such as liquid soaps, shower gel, scrub masks and even deep cleansing creams. They are easy to recognize because they have small striking particles which allow exfoliation when in contact with your skin.
Try to avoid hardness when applying these scrubs products, because they could redden the skin and it is also important to consider your type of skin to make proper use of exfoliators. Furthermore, when bathing, use warm water, spread the product and massage gently with circular movements. These movements will improve your body circulation.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Dry skin: It is necessary that before using the scrub apply a moisturizer to start preparing the skin so as to avoid cracking it. While applying the scrub, you need to mix it with a little water to massage properly, and then cleanse. It would be ideal to buy a scrub gel for this type of skin.
Oily skin: This type of skin is normally affected by acne or pollution; it is necessary to keep a cleaning treatment and regular use of exfoliants to complement the general hygiene of the skin. Firstly, you need to apply an astringent or toner (in the case of the face) before using the scrub. In the case of the body, you can apply creams that complement the exfoliating procedure at least once a week.
Sensitive skin: Attention must be paid when exfoliating sensitive skin, to avoid redness and irritation. It is recommended to apply natural exfoliators based on oats, sugar and honey. Be gentle and observe how the skin is reacting.
After exfoliation, the skin might reflect aggression signs, but that’s normal. It is only because there was a removal of dead cells and when the minutes pass, you will notice a positive change on your skin.
